  Clothing4 in Swadlincote, who provide uniforms, are running a Christmas competition.  You can decorate a template for them to hang on their Christmas tree and there are prizes.  The letter explaining everything and the templates can be found in 'Children' and then 'Class Pages' on this website.  Good luck!

• Deep Clean of the School

  Mon 20 Nov 2017 Miss Hurt

  Having had discussions with South Derbyshire Environmental Health and Derbyshire County Council, the school will be having a deep clean from 3.30pm today.  In order to limit the risk of further sickness, please collect your children from 1pm this afternoon.  The school will be open as normal tomorrow.

   

  Please can we stress the importance of keeping children off school for 48 hours after the last time they were sick or had diarrhoea even if they are presenting well.

   

  Please read the following information regarding sickness and the noro virus.

• Anti-Bullying Week

  Mon 13 Nov 2017 Miss Hurt

  This week is Anti-Bullying week, with the theme of 'All different, all equal'.  To begin the week, we have enjoyed an assembly this morning thinking about whilst there are many things that make our faces the same, there are things that make them different and unique.  Without each different person in the room, our school would not be the same.  Each person is valuable to our school.  We should celebrate our differences but also understand how important it is to work together and appreciate how those differences help us all to be a better community - one that works together to prevent bullying.

   

   

   

   

  

• Merit Reward Lunches

  Fri 10 Nov 2017 Miss Hurt
  This week has seen the start of our merit reward lunches for those children who have earned 150 merits for behaving well and following our school rules consistently.  The tables were laid with new tablecloths and new 'smiley face' cups were bought in order to enjoy a juice or smoothie.  At every place, for every child, was sat a crown, which was worn proudly and made them all smile when they were able to keep them!  The children were thrilled and had a lovely time, as did I.  I am very much looking forward to more next week and those children on the list are eagerly awaiting their turn!
